Wind turbine for hot water cumulus?

Renewable energies except solar electric or thermal (seeforums dedicated below): wind turbines, energy from the sea, hydraulic and hydroelectricity, biomass, biogas, deep geothermal energy ...

This type of solution should be seen as a back-up for the main hot water production system, not as the only means of producing hot water.
Each calorie given by the wind is as many kWh less on the electricity or gas bill at the end of the year...

NB: you will excuse the simplification between calories and kWh, it was to express the idea

Ideally, it would not even be necessary to go through the electricity stage...
Transforming movement directly into heat is done with much better performance...
But the assembly is easier going through a generator 8)

The Joule effect around 1840 and Foucault around 1870, with its currents tell you how to do it!!

See Wikipedia with these words!!!

The primitives to make fire, knew the Joule effect 400000 years before Joule!!! See Koh Lanta!!!
